Academic Policy: Non-Degree Students – Applicable to the Undergraduate Studies Program Only

Students may enroll as a non-degree student, on a space-available basis, with written permission from the Dean of Programs. Non-degree students are not admitted to a specific degree program.

Non-degree students must first apply for admission to the undergraduate studies program and meet the general criteria for admission. If admitted, non-degree students are governed by all Academic Affairs policies (with the exception of the Length of Time Allowed to Complete a Program policy). Non-degree students must also comply with all sections of this Student Handbook.

Non-degree students may register for no more than 15 credit hours of undergraduate coursework; registration for some courses may be restricted by the degree program offering that course. All credits attempted non-degree will be used to compute a non-degree GPA for the purpose of determining academic status (See Policy on Academic Status).

Non-degree students are not guaranteed admission to any specific degree program. They may apply to a degree program and request earned non-degree credits be accepted for completion of that degree program.
